Good information on lung cancer

4 Stars
June 08, 1998
This book presents a wide range of lung cancer information in a format that is well organized and easy to read, even for someone without a science background. This is a textbook, and as such is not appropriate to answer all questions about lung cancer but rather presents several topics in-depth. If you are a lung cancer patient or family member, you may find some helpful information but do not rely on this book as your only source of information.
